Defining section properties

To define the properties of a section, select the section icon in the Form definition window and edit the section’s properties in the Properties window. As you specify properties that have an effect on the appearance of the form, the preview pane of the New Form window is updated to show the change.

The following table describes the properties that you specify to create a section definition.

Property

RefName

RefName of the component.

For rules about the use of RefNames, see RefNames

Note that the InForm Architect application automatically capitalizes UUID strings that contain lower-case characters.

REQUIRED for certain types of sections, otherwise not necessary. For information about required UUIDs, see UUIDs.

Specifies the text of the section heading as it appears in the section’s title bar online.

The following figure shows how the new form window looks after a section and its properties are defined. The section is ready for inclusion of items or an itemset and controls, as necessary.
